(all my source is on an nfs mount). Cross-compiling is a very educational experience, for those few who manage to complete it (I've cross-compiled kernels, cross-compiling a full system is more than an order of magnitude harder).
But building in an absolutely-minimal new system is very much a "hair shirt" experience - do it if you have to, but it isn't something to seek out. Some of us have enough problems just getting our new systems to boot, forcing everybody to reboot into a "super-lean" system to build the real system would limit participation. Multi-Architecture good. Cross-building painful.
